Kids tend to want everything they see on TV. In my experience though, many of those items are the ones that end up forgotten at the bottom of the toy box mere days later, never to be played with again. I try to be very selective about the toys that my kids play with. Having kids close in age (6, almost 5 and 3) many of the toys are shared but they still seem to take over the house! I like to “shop outside of the box” to discover unique and educational toys that are fun and engaging. MuseumTour.com sells award winning toys, games, and books making it easy to find gifts that will get played with! Museum Tour was founded on the belief that a child will want to learn if presented with toys that have been created with both education and fun in mind.
You know those little gift shops in museums with all the cool stuff? You can get the same types of items online 24/7 at MuseumTour.com. Whether the child you’re shopping for is into art, science, engineering or nature, you’ll find the perfect gift without ever leaving home. To make shopping even easier, you can shop by grade/age for appropriate suggestions or search by category for specific interests. Best of all, they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee!
MuseumTour.com sent me two gifts from their Top 10 Best Bets for 2013:
WonderMaze — WonderMaze is smaller scale of a toy often found in children’s museum. Six feature pieces, elbow ramps, 2 tunnels, and a catch box are all magnetic and can be put together in different configurations. Drop the included 6 balls from the top and watch them as they demonstrate gravitational pull and the principles of physics as the balls travel through angles and rotational changes. Children ages 3-9 will love to experiments as they improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
You can paint a wall with magnetic paint but I’ve heard it’s not very easy. Instead, we’re going to screw some sheet metal to my daughter’s bedroom wall so she can play with this set. A friend just told me that you can get white board sheet metal so it’s double functioning! All three of my kiddos are going to love playing with together and I have to be honest, I’m looking forward to playing with it too!

Enchantmints Jewelry Box —One perfect place for small pleasures.
My oldest daughter is a treasure collector. She stashes things everywhere. In fact, I recently discovered her little sisters socks stuffed with jewelry. She’ll be five next month and will be getting her ears pierced for her birthday. I think it’s time for her first jewelry box!
The Enchantmints jewelry box is the perfect place to store all of her most favorite things. It’s beautifully illustrated with a painted unicorn scene and features 4 cleverly placed drawers for tucking away secret treasures. The inside features a mirror and velvet flocked paper giving it a fancy feel. When you open the top of the hinged box a tiny unicorn rotates and plays music.
